If they are several months old they should still be available.
Maybe. But I wouldn't post the exact text anyway. It would identify me and no one else here in this forum is doing that.
A quick search on CLTCC, council, charlotte in my feed reveals no hits.
I'm heading out of town. Have fun without me. If you really want me to try to find it let me know.
But it shouldn't be a surprise to think someone believes that the council is just as backstabbing in the backroom as the commissioners are in the front.
Everyone has less than savory moments, but classy folks keep it behind closed doors lol.
And if you flip it upside down to look at the underbelly, could the council really work as hard as it would have to to be the circus that is the commission? I mean that would be a lofty goal. It might be impossible for them to be equal without digging up another Leake and another James.
For equal opportunity sakes I turn the spotlight away from Vilma and direct it to Bill. What am I saying they are two peas in a pod:
James: "Your son was a homo, really?"
Leake: "I'm going to hit you, don't talk about my son that way."

Leake's son died of AIDS.
I remember that exchange between the two. I was stunned that someone in James' position would say that, but in public.
I've long felt that the commission and city council should be enlarged. The districts are nearly as big as NC senate districts in terms of population. That discourages average citizens from trying to campaign to serve.
If the commission was say ... 21 members ... you'd get more decent folks who just want things to operate untheatrically, and dilute some of the extreme personalities on there.
